A two-person version of the Notch, the Saddle 2 offers outstanding flexibility and function at just over one pound per person. Double side entrance, double wall and double vestibule. Fits two long and wide pads. Use your hiking poles (recommended) or select our optional poles. Easy to use fly only, interior only, or integrated one-piece setup and takedown. Going solo? Have a look at the Notch.

Do I need trekking poles for general use?
This shelter is designed to be used with trekking poles, but an 8 oz / 227 g alternate pole set is also available for non-trekking pole users. It is also possible to suspend the structure from trees or other overhead supports.

Is this shelter really stuffable?
Yes. There is no hard structure embedded in the fly or interior. If you use our substitute poles, the side poles fold to 16 in / 41 cm and the end poles fold to 13.5 in / 34 cm.

Are there any additional pullout points for extra staking?

The Saddle 2 has attachments for (and ships with) apex guylines to strengthen the ridgeline. It also has hem-edge elastic guy-outs.

Does this Tarptent accommodate tall people (over 6 ft 3 in / 190.5 cm)?
Yes, we recommend the Saddle 2 for taller folks. The design of the shelter makes it impossible to run into end walls and there is ample sit-up room.

Dave Slowey –August 15, 2018

My wife and I have used our Tarptent Saddle2 (15+) times and it always provides a worry-free, durable, roomy /great head room shelter during very windy, 4hr rainy, hail conditions. Our shelter gives us night time confidence in places from CO Never Summer Range, ID Sawtooth Wilderness, SD Black Elk Wilderness to UT Fish/Owl canyons. We use hiking poles in middle with tip down, carry 2 short poles for ends, 10 stakes, & groundcloth. 3lbs 7oz

I like the simple velcro w/ bottom hook entryway flaps, large vestibules for our pack/boots and floor design. Like all tents that require stakes, it is not standalone, but I prefer this style with fabric held in tension using stakes and not a bunch of poles.
